Read the GSA label before anyone talks about drilling
GSA container guidance starts with the label. We read it. We do not drill a labeled container as a casual first step. The combination lock, the container body, and the inspection log are identified. Servicing limits are explained. A painted-over label, an unapproved lock swap, a lost combination with no procedure, and a drill-as-theater plan are refused or redirected.
Use this conversation when you have a container with a GSA label and you need to know what that label allows. A residential gun safe with no such label is a different service. Bring a photo of the label, even if paint has crept onto the edge.
Container body, lock swaps, and the log the agency already has
You get an identification, a plain statement of what we will not do, and a log line if we were asked to look. You do not get a new government approval. The label instructions and the agency's policy outrank a locksmith preference. If the procedure says a certified technician must perform the service, we say that.
Washington offices sometimes inherit a container nobody has opened in years. Paint over the label does not make it a household safe. We will not treat it like a gun safe from a catalog. If control of the container cannot be shown, the visit ends at the label.
Frequent questions
What if paint covers the label?
We try to read what is left without grinding the plate off. If the class and the control number cannot be read, we do not invent them. The next step is the agency's process, not a drill bit.
Can the combination lock be swapped for a newer dial?
Only if the label and the agency allow that lock. An unapproved swap can void the container. We will not 'upgrade' it because the dial looks old.
Who may ask for this visit?
The person the agency or the property record says controls the container. Curiosity from a new tenant in a leased suite is not control.
Do you drill when the combination is lost?
Not as a first step, and not at all if the label's procedure forbids it. Lost combinations follow the written recovery path. Drilling a labeled container to be helpful is the thing we decline.
